116. Secret Accounts

Do the rebels have intentions to move this way? Zhao Li didn't understand, what was on this planet? Is it worth such a deployment by the rebels? This is a place known as a marginal planet, since it is called the edge, it also indirectly shows that this is a distant and remote star field at all, occupying it, what is the benefit to them?

Resource? It seems that the political axe has been operating here in name only for more than 200 years, and there is no resource worth developing. Otherwise, how could the federal axe allow those terrorists and drug dealers to occupy the planet for so long?

Could it be that the rebels also knew that there might be an elixir in Sanders's possession here? can look at Sanders's cautious appearance, it is impossible for any outsider to know, unless Sanders, who does not reveal secrets even if he is in prison, Sanders, as a firearms instructor of the special forces in the African zone, has made a fatal mistake in secrecy.

If you don't understand, you don't understand, but Zhao Li will never doubt it. It's just that in recent years, I haven't been in contact with specific information about the rebels, and I only know that at the time of the prison accident, the rebels had already occupied two immigration stars. However, those two planets should also not be very close to the edge planets, how can they develop this way?

As a military commander, of course, these precautions must be done first. General Lucas probably felt that this news might make Zhao Li nervous, so he comforted him a few words: "Just be careful, don't worry too much, after all, it's just a symptom, but I don't see the real intention." ”

Zhao Li nodded, comprehending the general's meaning. Judging from the above arrangement of his new body armor, at least he has not yet reached the moment of being abandoned.

"Interrogators also arrive randomly, so you can prepare a quiet room." Last time, Zhao Li mentioned that General Lucas should send a few interrogation experts, and General Lucas also understood it, and it seems that this is also a reason for the above to change their attitude and be more concerned about themselves. Such an attitude also shows that Zhao Li's recent affairs should be in line with the above meaning.

With this silent guarantee, Zhao Li was naturally very happy. In addition, there is a secret account and I don't know how much dividends I don't know, if I want to get two billion amethyst stones, even if the big head is all turned into military spending, I won't be too little. Of course, Zhao Li didn't expect too much, and the general had already said very tactfully that the military budget has been tight recently, and the war has been tense, even if there is less, Zhao Li will not feel strange.

The first reaction after hanging up communication with the general was to open the lockbox. Looking at the neatly folded thing inside that looked like an ordinary underwear, Zhao Li knew that this should be the new type of bullet armor that the general said.

This is a good thing, Zhao Li now, what he needs most is his own safety, with this dress, maybe it is useless to meet a master, but it is definitely not a problem to resist some ordinary bullets. This is not the standard body armor in the army, it can only block some bullets with little power, and I dare not say anything else, listening to the general's introduction, it is a large-caliber sniper rifle, plus my own self-defense internal strength, it is enough to resist.

didn't waste time, anyway, this is for himself, Zhao Li directly took off his coat and put on the bulletproof vest. The fabric is very light, and I don't know what material it is made of. This is none of Zhao Li's business, Zhao Li just wants to know if the vaunted bulletproof effect is true.

However, it doesn't seem to be a lie, at least Zhao Li's current skills, tearing hard, don't have the slightest damage to this dress. The most important thing is that this bulletproof suit is an underwear style, that is, it can completely replace underwear, just like the invisibility cloak on Li Mengdie's body. When you go out on a mission, you can also wear a layer of standard bullet armor outside, double insurance, and it is very safe.

As for the secret account, it's just a card, and nothing can be seen. There is no device that can be directly connected to the civilian network, and there is really no way to know how much money is in it.

"Oh, the spoils have come down?" Zhao Li was holding the card and looking at it, and a familiar voice came from the door.

"Old man, will you knock on the door before you come in?" Facing Kang Hongyuan at this moment, Zhao Li could also maintain his usual demeanor, put away the card calmly, there was nothing else in the lockbox, and he closed it casually and put it at his feet.

"You didn't close the door yourself!" Kang Hongyuan will not pay attention to these, at any time, Lao Kang seems to be able to put the responsibility on others, as long as he is willing. As he spoke, he also stretched out his hand to help Zhao Li close the door of the office, and then under Zhao Li's gaze, Shi Shiran poured himself a glass of water, and then sat opposite Zhao Li.

"What's the matter?" Kang Hongyuan must have something to do when he came at this time. At least in Zhao Li's memory, as long as Kang Hongyuan took the initiative to find him, something would definitely happen, including the last time he took the initiative to provide him with information.

"Is that an anonymous account, or is it a secret account?" didn't say what he meant, but Kang Hongyuan asked Zhao Li a question first.

"Secret account." Zhao Li answered truthfully, Kang Hongyuan knew the reason for this, and he did it later after asking Kang Hongyuan for advice, so there was no need to hide it.

"Oops!" Kang Hongyuan frowned and said in a low voice.

Zhao Li's ears were very sharp, and he heard clearly: "What's wrong?" Any questions? ”

"If it's an anonymous account, it's all easy to say." Kang Hongyuan was still frowning: "But the secret account is very troublesome, anyway, this account is in your name." ”

"Trouble?" Zhao Li still didn't understand the key, and seeing that Kang Hongyuan felt that it was inappropriate, he naturally immediately asked for advice. To be honest, in these things, Zhao Li was simply a failing student.

"It's a big problem." Kang Hongyuan coldly dropped a sentence: "Don't you want to think about it, a few months ago, your prison was just hijacked, everyone was killed, and you were the only one left alive." A few months later, a secret account suddenly appeared, with a large amount of money far exceeding your income, what do you think would happen if this information fell into the hands of those who doubted you? ”

Zhao Li had never thought about this, in his heart, the prison incident was already a thing of the past for Zhao Li himself. What is there to care about in the past? But now that Kang Hongyuan mentioned it, thinking of the consequences, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Also, once someone finds out, Sanders and I will be by your side......" Seeing Zhao Li's expression paused, Kang Hongyuan took the next words: "You are just full of mouths, and you can't tell clearly." ”

I never thought that I would get some dividends from my superiors, and there would be such a big hidden danger. Moreover, what Kang Hongyuan said was the Tao, and even Zhao Li himself could analyze it from his guidance, which was definitely a big problem that was extremely troublesome.

"Why?" After a period of panic in his heart, seeing that Kang Hongyuan was still sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, Zhao Li quickly calmed down. Since the old man is so nervous, it is estimated that there must be some solution. Moreover, although the source of these money is not very formal, I believe that after the above cleaning, it must be as innocent as a hibiscus out of the water, what is there to worry about.

"Who knows!" Old man Kang took a sip of water casually: "Maybe I didn't expect it, maybe I just relied on this handle to control you firmly, anyway, the top wants to control the bottom, and there is a way." ”

Didn't expect that? This is absolutely impossible, it is normal for Zhao Li not to expect it, but the high-ranking and old guys above did not expect that this is a joke. Even Kang Hongyuan could find the problem at a glance, and Zhao Li never believed that the above would not think of it.

Then, it is very likely that this method is going to be used to control him. Who's targeting him? The old warden? It seems that there is no need for this, if the old prison warden wants Zhao Li to do something now, Zhao Li will never slack off. Or several other commanders of military districts? It is possible, but it is impossible to determine which one or not it is for this reason.

"What should I do?" While thinking, he casually asked Kang Hongyuan.

"Think for yourself, don't rely on others. I can't be in front of you all the time. Kang Hongyuan seems to have made up his mind to only find problems for Zhao Li, not solve them for him. This also made Zhao Li have to face this problem by himself.

With this pressure, Zhao Li's brain was flying like a motor, countless possible castes were spinning in his mind, and scenes that he had never thought of before came one after another. Moreover, there is one thing that makes Zhao Li very puzzled, General Thomas obviously promised to be an anonymous account, but now it has been replaced by a secret account, is there any other reason for this?

After sitting for a long time, Zhao Licai smiled slightly. Kang Hongyuan saw Zhao Li's smile and knew that he had some answers, so he asked with a smile: "Is there any way, say it and listen!" ”

"I didn't open this account myself, and even if I checked it, it can't be used as direct evidence." Zhao Li figured out the key to it, and immediately calmed down in his heart: "Even if I find out that I have a secret account, it can only be used as a basis for suspicion, but it cannot be used as direct evidence to convict me." Since it can easily open a secret account for me, so can others. ”

"Aren't you nervous?" Kang Hongyuan asked Zhao Li in turn, and seemed to use this way to remind Zhao Li, and also used this way to test Zhao Li's solution.

"Don't they doubt it now?" Zhao Li was noncommittal, his current position was very embarrassing, he was already in a state of suspicion, a little more, it was nothing. If you want to him, you don't need to be so troublesome.

Seeing that Zhao Li can think so clearly, especially his own situation, this can be regarded as an improvement. Kang Hongyuan nodded, but still asked: "What if they hold on to this?" What if they found me and Sanders? ”

"Then let the two of you disappear before they have the real evidence." Zhao Li replied directly without thinking.

"Disappear? Which disappears? Kang Hongyuan was very interested in Zhao Li's answer, and asked with great interest.

"The most direct kind, the kind that no one will find out about in the future, and then use it to threaten me." Zhao Li knew what the old guy wanted to get, so he easily fulfilled his wish.

"Good, good. It seems that you already have a little bit of an idea of how this circle should behave, so you can barely pass it! Kang Hongyuan got the answer and nodded with a smile, not feeling any anger or unwillingness at all because Zhao Li said that he wanted them to disappear.

is worthy of being a scheming politician, and even when he pointed out Zhao Li, he did not hesitate to use himself to demonstrate. If this answer is heard by Sanders, Zhao Li believes that it will definitely not be as thorough as Kang Hongyuan's acceptance.

"No matter what you do in the future, think about what the benefits and harms will be, and if you weigh more, you will naturally understand." This is Kang Hongyuan's concluding statement, which can be regarded as an empirical statement. Zhao Li is very enlightened, no matter whether he wants to do it in the future or not, but this kind of guidance is really rare.

Now that the words have come to this point, Zhao Li doesn't want too much money in it. The more you are, the more dangerous it is. Anyway, the war insurance of those soldiers has been implemented, and there is no urgent need for money here for the time being, and Zhao Lisuo's surname does not care about this matter, and begins to care about the outcome of the interrogation.

The two interrogators who came were both in the prime of life, about fifty or sixty years old, with indifferent faces, as if they were the targets of extorted confessions. A sweep of the gaze will naturally bring a silent coercion. The moment he saw them, Zhao Li felt that kind of pressure.

Fortunately, Zhao Li's recent leadership of troops can be regarded as a ban, and although a few months is not a long time, it has also cultivated a unique temperament. In the face of that majesty, Zhao Li was indifferent. Although there was some dazing in my heart, I didn't show it on my face. It seems that the current Zhao Li has been able to control his facial expressions and eyes, and will not reveal too much of his thoughts.

Wen Tianming was personally inspected by Zhao Li every day, and there was no chance to escape. Now that he saw the appearance of the two interrogation officers, he probably guessed the identities of the two, and looked at Zhao Li with resentment, as if he was going to kill him.

"Lieutenant, may we ask individually?" The words of one of the interrogators made Zhao Li's intention to open his eyes and gain insight was also dispelled.

"No problem!" Answering briskly, Zhao Li turned around and left and took the door: "If there is a need for me, just ask." ”

It is worthy of being a professional interrogation officer, surprisingly efficient, and in less than two hours, he came out of it expressionlessly, nodded at Zhao Li, and signaled that he had obtained the desired result. Zhao Li saw the situation from the crack in the door, it seemed that Wen Tianming had no trace of being abused at all, and his spirit was also very forgetful. I'm very curious about their methods.

After sending off the supply ship and the interrogator, Zhao Li returned to Wen Tianming's cell. Wen Tianming was very happy when he saw Zhao Li appear: "Boy, I used tens of billions of money to buy your chief to kill you, see if you are still dead this time?" ”

117. Interstellar Frontier

"Let's take care of yourself first!" Zhao Li glanced at him with disdain: "If you give this money before I deal with you, maybe it's still possible." In this case, if you can still persist in surviving the trial of the local court, even if your ancestors burned high incense. "I have experienced a lot, so I naturally have a lot of experience with these things, and Zhao Li has already thought of these things almost at the same time as he heard Wen Tianming's threat.

These words made Wen Tianming's face change greatly. He is also a decisive figure, so he has been rampant in the Jin Wuxing region for decades, and this time he was captured, and when he saw the inquisitor go straight to the topic and ask for his secret belongings, he moved his mind and wanted to teach Zhao Li a lesson through the hands of the military, so he did not hesitate to make a deal with the military, one of which was to bring down Zhao Li.

As a result, Zhao Li's words made Wen Tianming understand. The military didn't want to trade with him at all, they just wanted the money he had secretly hidden. As for those things promised, who remembers what a dying man said? Zhao Li understands this, and Wen Tianming also understands it, but he was blinded by hatred, and the authorities were confused, but he didn't see through this layer just now.

The training in the camp was normal, and after this time, not only the morale of the army was greatly boosted, but also the enthusiasm of all the soldiers in training increased greatly, and there was no need to supervise them, everyone was spontaneously increasing the intensity of training. That kind of lifeless momentum made Zhao Li look very encouraged.

Zhao Li's words were also implemented more thoroughly in the barracks, perhaps because Zhao Li did not hesitate to turn his face with the Black Prison Mercenary Group in order to help the two ordinary soldiers get justice, and completely wiped out the Black Prison from this area. Especially Zhao Li, who later broke into the enemy's lair alone, single-handedly broke the limbs of hundreds of people, and at the same time made a big face for the military camp, he also completely recovered the blood debt for the two humiliated soldiers. Combined with the arrival of war insurance, everyone looked at Zhao Li with a look of reverence.

Now Zhao Li, dressed in jungle camouflage, with the same camouflage on his face, is trekking through the forest. Traveling with him, as well as Sanders, is also dressed in the same way, the same outfit.

Long before treating Li Mengdie, Zhao Li promised Sanders that he would accompany him to a certain place. At that time, he didn't say anything specifically, and Zhao Li didn't ask at all. When everything was arranged in the barracks, Sanders made the request official.

The above asked Zhao Li not to take any action recently, but there was time. However, this name is not easy to find, after all, Zhao Li is also a military chief, and it is very unreasonable to go out with Sanders alone.

"It's good to train as usual." Sanders didn't care about any of this: "Didn't the wilderness survival training you played last time last time only last two or three days?" This time it's good to continue, and your training is guided by me, how about it? ”

This is a good excuse, Zhao Li thought about it and agreed to this method. After discussing with Christine Li Mengdie, the elite team conducted a wilderness survival training again. Although there are five fewer people than last time, the formation of the elite squad is still there, and several ordinary soldiers have already shown the momentum to enter the elite squad.

Under the supervision of Li Mengdie and Christine, the group entered the jungle again. Survival training in the wild was carried out again. Soon after the training began, Zhao Li and Sanders boarded the battleship, turned in another direction, and left the battleship at the edge of a jungle, and the two entered the jungle with weapons.

Li Mengdie was very cooperative, and didn't ask Zhao Li why he arranged it like this. From the very beginning, she firmly believed that Zhao Li would not do anything bad, so she didn't ask about Zhao Li's actions at all and gave all her trust.

Sanders is worthy of being an instructor in the special forces, and although he is extremely good at firearms, it does not mean that he is not good at other subjects. At least in the jungle, Zhao Li's performance was far inferior.

"There are relatively few plant species here, but these trees have grown from the forest for at least a few decades, and this new biosphere has not been formed for more than 200 years, so everything has to be adapted to local conditions and cannot be copied from other places." Along the way, while opening the way from the forest, Sanders gave Zhao Li a lesson.

"Two hundred years?" For the first time, Zhao Li heard such an argument: "Isn't this the biosphere of the planet itself?" How is the history so short? ”

"You've never been exposed to the science of planetary exploration, have you?" Sanders found the weakness in Zhao Li's cognition at a glance.

"No, what's wrong?" Does survival in the wild also have something to do with these disciplines?

"Do you know why this is a barren planet? There are almost no large mineral deposits. Sanders found a small source of water, and the two sat down a short distance from the water's edge to rest and recuperate. The rapid march just now, almost for more than two hours, Zhao Li estimated that the distance between the two should be about forty kilometers. On average, it is not easy to march in the jungle in less than 20 kilometers in an hour.

"I don't know!" In front of the instructors, especially when it comes to the training content, Zhao Li has always sought truth from facts, knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing. Planet pioneering, Zhao Li is indeed not very clear.

"Not all planets are habitable for humans." Sanders instructed Zhao Li to set up a simple campsite, and at the same time explained his doubts: "For example, Mars, before humans set foot, the surface temperature was too low, and the atmospheric composition was not suitable. ”

Zhao Li is clear about this, it is said that the Martian immigrants have been transformed for more than 100 years in the early stage, and Zhao Li is only a little impressed by how to transform, but he is not very clear. It is only known that it is to use the greenhouse effect to greatly increase the surface temperature, and then transplant some strong plants to slowly transform the atmospheric environment until it can meet the needs of human survival.

"It's a pretty much the same, but do you know how to create the greenhouse effect?" Sanders kept asking Zhao Li in his hand, but he had already thrown a purifying potion into the water that he had just taken from the small pond in the jug, and slowly waited to melt.

"I don't know." Does this have anything to do with the barren planet? Zhao Li didn't know, but when Sanders said this, he must have taught him something, and after answering honestly, he waited for him to announce the answer.

"It's actually very simple, but you never thought of it." Sanders gently shook the small jug of water to make the purifying potion melt faster: "Don't stop, we can only rest for half an hour, get the food ready, and can't make a fire." ”

"The living environment on the earth has deteriorated dramatically, and the biggest reason is pollution, industry, agriculture, and domestic pollution, and some of the consequences of pollution are the production of a large number of greenhouse gases, resulting in the rise of the earth's temperature." The purification potion had melted, Sanders filtered the water through a small filter, took a sip of it himself, and then handed it to Zhao Li.

"The early stage of transformation is to use a variety of industrial instruments that can produce pollution, find the right place, and then go crazy to produce, hoarding raw materials and producing greenhouse gases." Now the two of them still have dry food on them, so there is no need to hunt in the forest for the time being. Although Sanders said that this time he was mainly looking for those magical sand grains with him, he said that he would give Zhao Li wild survival training, which would not be discounted at all.

"It's that simple?" Zhao Li already understood a little, but he still didn't believe it.

"Of course, why don't you think the companies that produce obsolete machinery in the Federation have gone out of business so far?" What Sanders said is the truth, there are now several large industrial groups producing some outdated industrial machinery, and even once caused protests from citizens when Zhao Li was in school, and it has not been closed, and it is thought that it is used for this. Oddly enough, these things aren't supposed to be some kind of secret, right? As long as it is announced, it will naturally be able to calm the anger of those environmentalists, why is no one doing it?

"Do you think all of their production is for interstellar pioneering?" Sanders sometimes feels hopeless about Zhao Li's naivety: "I have been following that old guy for so long, why don't you learn more from his shrewdness?" If that is the ideal, where does the strife in this world come from? ”

Zhao Li was said, but he didn't feel any grievances. I have all this in my head. These bits and pieces of things are hearsay to say that they don't sound good, but maybe you can save your life because of a little of them in the future.

"At this stage, basically all the mineral deposits that can be proved about 50 meters underground have been used to produce waste gas and hoard raw materials." Sanders finished nibbling on the dry food in his hand and motioned for Zhao Li to rest against the tree for a while. However, this is taking care of Zhao Li, Sanders's own cultivation has already stepped into the threshold of the eighth level, and he can recover at any time.

However, Zhao Li actually didn't need to take a special break. When he set off, he and Li Mengdie came to the phoenix again, and after sucking away his nameless true qi that could not be condensed, Zhao Li has always maintained the state of basic physical fitness, so that no nameless true qi will be generated, and he can maintain this state for a longer time, and when necessary, he can also exert his original strength. Of course, Zhao Li would not be stupid enough to say it, but just followed Sanders's instructions and chose a comfortable position to rest.

"This phase can basically last for 50 to 100 years, depending on the distance from the star and the composition of the atmosphere. Basically, for such a long time, even under the work of that backward machinery, the mineral deposits were almost mined. After all, no matter what, it is also an automatically controlled machine, in addition to the exhaust gas generated does not need to be treated, the mining efficiency is also very high, and the raw materials are all money. As if Zhao Li wanted to know about this, Sanders did not have an impatient expression at all, and patiently explained.

During the explanation, Zhao Li has been listening quietly. By now, without Sanders saying anything, Zhao Li has already understood why there are no minerals to mine on this marginal planet. Even if there are left, it is only the kind of stuff that is relatively small and not worth the investment of those large companies. For example, the small ironworks in Jin Wuxing can basically meet some civilian needs, and the cost is high.

"And what's next?" Although he had already understood the reason for the barrenness, Zhao Li still wanted to know more about interstellar pioneering.

"Next, we will select specific fungi and microorganisms according to the atmospheric environment of different planets, and slowly start to build the biosphere." Sanders also consciously cleared Zhao Li's illiteracy: "These fungi will consume those toxic and harmful gases in the air, such as sulfur dioxide, and multiply in large quantities to provide necessary nutrients for the next stage." ”

"Then there are the algae, which can survive in extreme environments, and this time the main thing is to start suppressing and absorbing those greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide to control the temperature of the planet." Zhao Li listened quietly, as if listening to science fiction.

"Algae plants also release a lot of oxygen, which modifies the composition of the atmosphere." Sanders looked at Zhao Li's serious appearance and felt a little funny: "The next thing is herbaceous plants and woody plants, which will further improve air quality." Of course, these plants were chosen to suit the environment of the time. ”

"This was followed by the introduction of a variety of plants and animals, the formation of the biosphere, and the beginning of the formation of a well-established biological chain. In short, although it is relatively simple to say, the process is cumbersome, and if you have the opportunity to meet a few biologists and extraterrestrial environmental experts, you can ask them for more details. Sanders has finally completed the literacy work, at least Zhao Li can understand the general process.

"The process of building the biosphere will probably take decades or even longer." Tapping on the trees he was leaning on, Sanders introduced to Zhao Li: "Look at these plants, there are not many varieties. Although it looks lush, after all, there are only a few kinds of plants, which are the few suitable plants that were selected at that time. Animals are also on the earth, the only difference from the earth is that the forest coverage rate is very high, in addition to these, other plants can survive in a few, after all, the soil composition here is still different. ”

No wonder that apart from the desert and the ocean, most of the edge planet is covered by dense forests, and it turns out that this is the reason. All the cities were built by clearing down a jungle. However, this also made Zhao Li start to suspect another question: "Then why do these people grow drugs instead of doing the timber business?" ”

"Because this is a marginal planet, the distance is too far, and there are more materials on other planets than here, and the transportation cost is even cheaper." Sanders explains the problem in a single sentence.

"I see." Zhao Li nodded. But while nodding, he suddenly heard a unique voice, the voice came from the sky, and he couldn't help but look up: "What is it?" ”

However, there were no suspicious objects in sight. When he looked at Sanders, he found that he also had the same surprised expression.

118. Mysterious monsters

Looking at the sky again, there was nothing but a few clouds. The voice just rang out and never came again. There was nothing unusual in the sky, not even the wind.

However, both of them heard that strange sound, which could never be a hallucination. It is impossible for both of them to hallucinate at the same time, especially when Sanders is still an eighth-level master.

The sound was similar to the sound of some battleship engines, but nothing could be seen in the field of vision. Maybe it's just a passing flying machine.

Carefully observed for a long time, nothing unusual. The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say. In the end, it was Sanders who shrugged: "Maybe it's some thunder or something, who knows?" ”

Enough time to rest, hit the road again. It's still relatively easy to tell the direction from the forest during the day, and with Sanders here, you don't have to worry about getting lost. Zhao Li didn't know where the destination was, he just followed Sanders forward.

For two days and two nights, they were all on the road. In case of any danger, Zhao Li and Sanders can also solve it, after all, this kind of immigrant star does not have a species at the top of the high-end food chain. To be honest, there are not many of these things, even on Earth.

Along the way, almost all of them were Ru Mao drinking blood, and in the dense forest, Sanders strictly supervised Zhao Li. No fire is allowed, and it is carried out in full accordance with the way of survival in the jungle, which fully demonstrates the role of an instructor. Even if Zhao Li encountered any problems, he didn't help, but asked Zhao Li to solve them himself.

This training along the road is much more professional than the last time Zhao Li organized. Zhao Li did put into practice the theoretical knowledge he had learned at that time.

The strange noise they heard two days ago never appeared again, and both of them thought that nothing was wrong. However, just as Zhao Li was carefully burying the traces of his passing, suddenly, a crisp gunshot was heard in the distance.

This time, not only Zhao Li, but Sanders also heard it clearly. When they were looking at each other, they suddenly took advantage of a series of gunshots.

"Assault rifles, bursts, at least four people shooting." Sanders was an expert in firearms, and he could roughly determine the number of people who fired the guns just by listening to the voices coming in.

It's just that this is a dense forest within a dense forest, where even drug dealers and local farmers can't go deep, how can there be gunshots? The location where you listen to the gunshots, about a few kilometers away.

The two looked at each other, Sanders decisively took out the prepared but unused dry food from his backpack, all of which were used locally to maintain energy for the past two days, and now there are gunshots, but they can't continue to train.

After quickly nibbling on the dry food, the two rested silently for twenty minutes. After thinking about it a few times, the gunshots over there stopped ringing, but Zhao Li and Sanders still moved in that direction and slowly touched it.

A few kilometers away, usually a matter of twenty minutes, but this time you have to hide your whereabouts and walk carefully. I already had the assault rifle in my hand that I had kept in my backpack, and now there was something wrong with it, and I needed to be 120,000 careful.

The location where the gunshots rang out just now was very obvious, not only the heavy smell of gunpowder smoke in the air clearly pointed out the direction to Zhao Li, but along the smell of gunsmoke, there was also a distance to see bullet holes on some tree trunks.

Without careful discernment, the four corpses lying there speak for themselves. Four soldiers in military uniforms, clutching assault rifles tightly in their hands, each with several long blood marks on their chests, one of which was still in the throat, should have been a fatal wound.

There was a mess around, and similar scratches could be seen on several trees. The four soldiers were all full of surprise, and their expressions were very surprising to Zhao Li and Sanders.

"What did they see?" Carefully walked to the side of the corpse, the blood had clotted, the body temperature had been lost, the dead could not die again, there was no hope of rescue. I could only stand in the middle of a few of them, looking at the messy scene around me, estimating what was going on. Several of the corpses appeared to be very well armed, and in addition to firearms and weapons, there was also a communication system for individual soldiers, but unfortunately, the equipment on the four people was scratched and destroyed, and there was no way to use it.

"The bullets are scattered, and if there are targets around, the targets are moving too fast." Encouraged by Sanders' gaze, Zhao Li expressed his conjecture.

Sanders also thinks so, so the purpose of these people shooting is very debatable. In addition to the blood stains of several soldiers at the scene, only those scratches were found around, but it was not ruled out that it was blood from these soldiers.

"The target's form is not very large, normal human form." From the surrounding traces, the size of the target can be barely judged. Sanders was experienced and began to coach Zhao Li.

What is this? Beasts about the size of humans, but with five fingers and sharp claws, have the impression that they are not as fast as they are. There is also nothing to shed fur around, so it is basically impossible to tell what it is.

"Let's go!" Within a few minutes of watching, Sanders decisively gave Zhao Li an order. Zhao Li also vaguely felt that there was something wrong with it, and followed Sanders without saying a word to leave the two of them A short distance away, he heard the sound of someone walking through the dense forest. Speaking of which, Sanders is a master, and Zhao Li can barely be regarded as a little master, and the cooperation between the two is very tacit. Sanders gestured in a sign language, and the two of them brushed their hands together, silently climbing the trunk and climbing upward.

More than ten meters in the air from the ground, the two carefully hid their bodies in the flourishing branches and leaves, and the original jungle camouflage hid their figures very secretly, and they didn't have to worry about anyone finding out.

"Quick, quick, seven groups of four people have lost contact, search carefully, don't leave obvious traces." Five or six people appeared from the forest, dressed in military uniforms, and slowly approached in this direction in a standard column of dense forest marchers. Several people observed the surroundings as they walked, and a few times they even glanced up a few times, but Zhao Li and Sanders hid well and were not discovered for a while.

A few people searched and passed by, and when they could no longer hear a sound, Sanders moved slightly. The two of them stayed in the air and did not come down, communicating with each other with visible gestures.

"Who are they?" Zhao Li's inquiry.

"I don't know! Active duty soldiers, I don't know which army. Sanders replied.

……

After communicating for a long time, the two decided on a plan of action, slowly slid down the tree, and touched in that direction again. Fortunately, I was careful when I just left, and I didn't leave any obvious traces, otherwise I would have been discovered. But don't worry about this for the time being, it seems that those people marching carefully, but they are full of loopholes, and they can see the direction they are traveling in at a glance. Even if they found out, it is estimated that they would only regard it as a trace left by the seven groups.

Far away from the distance that could occasionally be seen in the line of sight, Zhao Li and Sanders carefully observed the movements of those people. It's not that the two of them are troublesome, this place still belongs to the Golden Five-Star Region, but because of the dense forest, no one has been active here so far. It's very unusual that someone from the military is actually moving here.

If those people were all special fighters and were on a mission here, Zhao Li could treat them as if they were training on a special mission, but those people were obviously just ordinary fighters.

Another reason is that I have never heard of any beasts here, after all, no matter how you say it, this is just a planet of immigrants, and all the biospheres are brought from the earth, and large beasts cannot exist at all. If there is some strong nuclear radiation, it may cause mutation, but unfortunately, there are no such conditions here. If it were only natural selection, it would have been impossible to produce such a mutated beast in just one or two hundred years.

In that case, the purpose of those people here is worth playing. Especially Sanders, who came here to find those scarce grains of life-saving sand, wouldn't it be in vain if anyone else knew? Speaking of urgency, Sanders is even more than Zhao Li.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a gray shadow flashing in his field of vision, Zhao Ligang thought he was dazzled, and was about to turn in another direction, but there was a chaotic sound over there, mixed with gunshots.

Hiding behind, Zhao Li and Sanders stared intently in that direction, although the distance was a little far, and only some shadows could be seen, but it was still obvious to see a figure flying around, gunshots continued, but from time to time there would be screams. The shadow was very fast, and soon there were a few screams, and then there was no more sound.

"What's that?" Zhao Li looked at the looming figure and asked Sanders next to him.

"I don't know, I don't see clearly." Sanders wasn't sure that the figure was moving too fast, it wasn't a normal human at all, and he could vaguely see some beast-like hair, which was hard to say.

"What to do? Do you want to check it out? Zhao Li looked at Sanders, this time he was helping Sanders, and naturally the command was in Sanders' hands.

"Don't be overly troubled, be careful." Sanders listened to the gunshots over there, and didn't seem to want to go over: "I don't know the identities of those people yet, don't make any trouble." ”

Sanders's words make sense, the main problem is that I still don't know the identity of those soldiers. Moreover, the performance is so mysterious, and it is not a special soldier, which makes people doubt their motives.

This time, Zhao Li and Sanders raised their vigilance to the extreme, and slowly touched away from that direction. Try not to alarm that unknown monster. The gunfire over there had stopped, and if the estimate was good, the group of six was already very lucky.

Bang, there was a strange sound in front of the left, Zhao Li didn't think about it, picked up the gun and was about to shoot in that direction, but was quickly pressed down by Sanders. He shook his head softly at him.

"Be careful, there's something weird here, don't give away our location easily." After all, with actual combat experience, Sanders is a hundred times stronger than Zhao Li, and when he encounters this situation, he is naturally the one to make a suitable judgment.

The kind of movement just now is not an ordinary movement in the dense forest. Although Zhao Li was not allowed to shoot, Sanders still pulled out the military spur, listened cautiously over there, and vigilantly observed the surrounding movements.

The sound in the jungle never stopped, but this time, even Zhao Li sensed danger. There was a strange sound from far to near, as if something was clinging to the branches of a tree and rushing towards it.

Zhao Li followed the example of Sanders, pulled out his military thorn, put on a defensive posture, and carefully stared at the direction in which the voice sounded.

brush, a figure appeared, and the gray-white military uniform was unusually dazzling in the jungle. Before Zhao Li could react, the figure on the opposite side had already swooped towards him, and the figure was still in the air, and he saw the sharp claws on its two hands like a bunch of daggers.

The other party's figure came too fast, and Zhao Lijun only had time to stab and block in front of him. I heard a ding, a huge shock in my hand, and the military thorn that I was holding with all my strength flew out of my hand as if it had been hit by an impact hammer that told something, and flew to the side at high speed.

Du, with a clear sound, the military thorn was firmly inserted into the trunk of a big tree not far away, pierced so deep that even the military thorn did not even tremble.

The moment the military stab took off his hand, Zhao Li used force under his feet and quickly retreated backwards. Even so, the clothes on his chest were still slashed horizontally by the monster's claws, and the bulletproof vest worn outside made a tooth-aching noise, breaking three holes.

As soon as the blow missed, the monster seemed to change direction immediately, and climbed up quickly along the trunk of the tree next to it, without seeing anything awkward at all.

Zhao Li broke out in a cold sweat in an instant, and when he looked down, he actually lost his weapon without even touching his opponent. But at this time, it was too late to hurry, and the monster climbed up without two steps, and took advantage of the height to pounce on itself again.

Bloodstained snow-white claws thrust towards him like a small sword. Zhao Li didn't think about it, and reached out to grab the sharp claws. At the same time as the fingers touched the other party, the nameless exercises that had been cultivated like instinct were immediately used. At the same time, at this moment, the left shoulder seemed to be shot by a sharp arrow, and there was a burst of impact pain.

The monster in the air let out a terrible howl, and its body quickly retreated. However, one of the claws has been grabbed by Zhao Li, with the momentum of its retreat, Zhao Li has a backwrist, and the claws make a gratling sound, and then the hand is light, and only a white claw with some blood stains remains, still in Zhao Li's hand.

The body armor on the shoulder, three finger-sized holes appeared on the left shoulder, facing the monster's claws, this military-standard body armor is like paper paste at all, and it doesn't work at all.

The claws in his hands were broken from the monster's grasp, no wonder the monster let out that kind of scream.
